The construction should be ( Noun-P - Noun phrase )

The increased popularity and availability of televisions has + led to + Noun-P A, Noun-P B + and + Noun-P C

Noun-P A = the decline of regional dialects
Noun-P B = language variations
Noun-P C = Missing
But The phrase after "cultural heritages" can correspond to the auxilary verb "has" meaning "increased popularity" has perpetuated by geographic isolation. This is very awkward
None of the choices have "and" sperating all the nouns.
B looks Best but also lacks "and" between Noun-P A and Noun-P B

I strongly believe that everything after "language variations" should modify "regional dialects and languge variations"I feel this sentence is at high difficulty level.
